Chapter 430, Bullets, Flames, Blood, Death
There is nothing new under the sun. Just as ship after ship of planetary guards, the Imperial Army, and the cannon fodder army were thrown onto the Shenqi Star through various obstacles, a grand mobilization was also taking place on the Shenqi Star.
It is called mobilization, but in fact it is the same set. In the lower city of the city, the declining city, and the various ratman strongholds, with glory, money, future, power, oh yes, these temple priests have to use something more, that is, faith. Under these slogans, one ship after another, a large number of ratmen were thrown onto the battlefield.
This is a kind of helpless thing. After all, whether it is the First Expeditionary Fleet or these temple priests, they actually cannot rely entirely on elite troops to complete a planetary-level war. These planetary guards, the Imperial Army, and these cannon fodder boys are necessary. Although their casualties may be unimaginable, it doesn’t matter. Obviously, both sides of the war don’t care about this.
On that piece of dusty Gobi, there were many stories about the ratmen. Now, it has become a battlefield again.
A large number of guys with old weapons and only simple training were deployed here in large numbers. As the vanguard, what they had to do was not complicated, and even very simple. They had to hold on. This was what the ratmen bigwigs asked of them, but for them, what they had to do was also not complicated. They just had to survive.
Waving the rusty shovel in their hands, without any decent equipment, the old engineering machinery roared not far from them, but in fact, these old and clumsy guys could not play any greater role, and the hard soil of the Gobi Desert also caused a lot of trouble for this matter. A large number of ratmen were digging battlefield fortifications.
The enemy had not arrived yet. Not far away, the older ratman captain, who knew more clearly what they were going to face next, was roaring at the communicator in his hand.
"We can't hold on with just these. Even for the great emperor, we need more and better equipment!"
Perhaps because of the price paid for deploying these guys, the rat man above, a rat man, agreed to the captain's request. Soon, a batch of equipment will be airdropped.
The rat boys in the trenches still had some confusion on their faces. Obviously, they didn't know much about this war, but it was not their fault. After all, in the training center, those impatient rat instructors actually taught them three things: one, listen to the command of those rat officers, two, dig trenches, and three, shoot. That's all.
The advance team sent up this time was not a particularly capable elite. The rat officers in the huge warships, after a simple calculation, had already defined this ground war against Shenqixing as a protracted war. Naturally, the first batch of people who were escorted would not be elite.
Several rat boys were holding guns in their hands, half squatting in a trench that had just been dug out. They were chatting casually.
"You said, are those, those things true?"
"What are they?"
"Didn't the instructors say when they were recruiting soldiers? As long as we are brave, those, those things, we may also be able to do it!"
A rat boy was gesticulating with joy. He was not too scared now. He came from a relatively peaceful agricultural town.
"I don't know."
A slightly silent rat boy did not give a positive answer. He was not so lucky. He came from the lower city of a declining mining city. Such a conversation did not last long. The temple priests had a strong control over the Godly Star. Chaotic shouts rang out at this moment when the guys who were thrown down had just dug the trench.
The rat boy who came from the comfortable agricultural town excitedly took his old steam gun in his hand and poked his head out of the trench. In fact, what they saw now was not so beyond the scope.
Because the holy war army that arrived here was also a group of guys who had just been summoned, and they didn't even have time to equip heavy firepower. Under the banners, under the banners of the rat priests who were roaring wildly, there were still a group of rat boys who were also confused and ignorant.
The boy from the agricultural town pulled the trigger in excitement. He seemed to really think that participating in this war could bring him things that only existed in slogans.
Glory, money, power, the pursuit of the rats, his own name, everything he might want.
The fired bullet passed through the cheek of a crazy rat priest at the front, interrupting his frantic movements. He touched his face in the pause and saw the bright red blood. With a loud roar, this planet-level ground conquest war began.
Flame, death, blood, these elements that have never been absent in the history of the rats, they will still not be absent at this time, but now there is one more thing, bullets.
Bullets, flames, blood, death.
Crazy cries, scarlet eyes, fear, trembling figures, and those ratmen who died simply without gaining anything.
The boy from the agricultural town died. He was shot in the eye by an ordinary steam bullet and was killed directly. He fell in the trench. Their equipment was too poor. They had not waited for the airdrop and did not even have a helmet. They only had a blue coat.
The silent boy from the mining city pushed the body of the boy from the agricultural town away because the position occupied by the body was a good shooting position. The enemy was about to rush up and he had to go up.
Not for anything else, just to survive.
On this simple position, a difficult war was fought. After a day, the crazy rat priests who pressed on were finally almost dead, and the attacking rats retreated in large numbers.
It is unimaginable that this group of rabble actually survived! This is really a surprising thing.
More and better equipment, more rat boys, and some heavy equipment were dropped after today. As for those guys who died, perhaps they would also be remembered as the rat affairs officers in the flagship staff, becoming a black swan event that was not a miracle and made these guys marvel.
